Applying to shows used to be a mess of slides and checks and SASEs for us artists. Then came along ZAPP which made our lives so much easier - especially applying while on the road!
Since then a lot of smaller festival application software has arrived. It's been a while since I've been on the circuit, but I remember long ago Bonita Springs was using something other than ZAPP.
These days, what has been the easiest and/or most difficult system for you to navigate when applying for in-person and virtual shows? I'm looking for one that works well for artists but doesn't break my budget (for my little art fair.)
Thanks!

I've used this to apply for shows before. not sure if would suit your needs though. https://artist.callforentry.org/login.php
Don't do Entrythingy.
Best I know, Meredith, there are only 3 players in this space: Zapp (I think they'll work with you on the price), Juried Art Services and EntryThingy.com. The last one I used for my very small art fair this summer, about $3 per application, I believe. A bit of a learning curve for me, but great support, lots of FAQ's, and helpful email answers.
